Archon

I feel you, bro. You can hop in the rocker next to mine.

[quote name='Zombie Glaucon' timestamp='1303698460' post='2698942'] I love this "MK doesn't care" canard. It never gets old. [/quote] Most don't, though. The internal topic on this has relatively few posts. Sorry if that hurts your feelings or something.

[quote name='Letum' timestamp='1303532373' post='2697401'] I'm more interested in who the heck lacks enough of a life to spend so much of their time writing something like this, and not even bother posting it to our forums. [/quote] Just for posterity's sake, in case something else comes up.

Great group of guys. I'll especially always have soft spots for Arctic and oats.

[quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1303190918' post='2693306'] I'd like to endorse this post. Signed, [i]Ardus, Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Shadow Lord of the Viridian Entente, Chairman of "The Board", and Center of the Cyberverse[/i] [/quote] Can I endorse the first part, but not the second?

420 roll Legion errrryday ...what, were you looking for quality input? I could point out that innocent, virgin Legion lives would not be lost had the war ended, but I imagine I might offend a few of you young souls, so I'll just Trundle right along. (If anyone gets that, I'll be stunned. Stunned, I tell you.)

[quote name='kencojenko' timestamp='1302492987' post='2688322'] So you are alive? [/quote] Not really, but for you I'd make an exception.

Good stuff. I need to drop you a line at some point and catch up, Jenko.

Denial covered most everything, though it is amusing to think that some thought the League forums were even remotely utilized for actual meaningful discussion. #therock was where it was at, generally. (ibbrospostingairmelogs)

[quote name='Ryuzaki' timestamp='1301097028' post='2676449'] +Zeke+, you have expressed that you don't want to sign up, and that you don't like the contest, can you please move on then and stop derailing the thread. [/quote] He's just making a late game run for the crown. ...right? I mean, people don't actually think like that, right? Right?

I am so unabashedly jealous of you guys right now.

So long as you support and give shelter to a malicious pretender to the Mushroom Throne, you shall burn

Consider it motivations shrouded in mystery, or something. OOC: I actually love you all (well, most of you ) but have my carpal tunnel act up again so typing hurts

See, I like this reply.

This is an official Mushroom Kingdom declaration of war, fyi.

[center][img]http://imgur.com/iVphG.jpg[/img][/center] The New Polar Order and her myriad allies have gone to great lengths to protect a single alliance from damage in this latest global calamity. Rather than putting forth a maximal effort in what was perceived to be a losing effort from the onset, these alliances have conspired to take the beating so that their flagship alliance can remain strong and resolute. Of particular note is the valorious Legion, whose mutual defense pact with the New Polar Order remains untapped. Perhaps it is a hope for a return to past 'glory.' Subservience suited them well throughout much of their existence, so this is not a particularly surprising strategy. I was asked in particular to pay great heed to the efforts of the Siberian Tiger Alliance in this regard, masterfully positioning alliances in a way to protect the core. The alliance they shield, the alliance they cling to, and the alliance to which they entrust their safety and prosperity - The New Pacific Order. We cannot allow any chance of a return to power by the New Pacific Order. For years they ruled with an iron fist. They engineered a multitude of first strike "curbstomps," the most grossly abusive among them being the glibly named Woodstock Masscre against the Green Protection Agency. Never one to face an enemy with an even remote chance of victory, and always one to beat on the weak and the vulnerable, the New Pacific Order was a true master of the first strike attack. They could not only beat down the weak, but they had maneuvered the politics of the day such that they could do so with impunity. Recently, the Order of the Paradox tried a first strike as a gambit against the Complaints and Grievances Union. The attack, a clinic in military skill and precision, was doomed only due to politics. While they showed infinitely more bravery than the New Pacific Order, in attacking a foe with military skill and a reasonable relative strength, they also taught a great lesson. A first strike is not deplorable when against a foe of strength, but one must make sure their political situation is unassailable before doing so. Or, perhaps it is even more simple than that. Maybe it's just a matter of loathing. Maybe it is because we believe that Everything. Must. Die. Maybe it is because we think you deserve to burn. It doesn't actually matter. Whatever reason we decided to state, our foes would take their own, believe it, and attempt to spin it to their benefit. I welcome them to try. I wish them good luck, even, for they will surely need it. As for us? We always hear people saying "Do something about it!" with great bravado, so how about this?

Sometimes the material just writes itself.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1295671490' post='2590853'] [color="#0000FF"] I do not watch television. I find it to be a mind numbing activity, and instead prefer mentally stimulating challenges such as this. [/color] [/quote] This may have been the single greatest thing you've ever said.

[quote name='Branimir' timestamp='1295660386' post='2590152'] I apologize if I misused the term, sometimes the finer points of term usage in English escape me. Anyway, I wasnt addressing the OP with that line, but rather something on the first page; Since everybody hangs on every word here, I will do my best with my English. [/quote] That's actually genuinely my bad. For some reason I said to myself "I should PM this" and then posted it anyway. To the topic at hand, it would seem Impero's timeline casts doubts upon RV's reaching implication that Impero had talked to Lennox prior to Lennox talking to Dajobo.

[quote name='The Flying Scotsman' timestamp='1295659923' post='2590112'] While I do agree with the first part I would have to raise issue with the second portion in light of the information brought up by RV. If you accept all of RV's information as valid then it shows an intent by VE to generally go to war with NpO. VE was motivated to go to war before Dajobo did what he did, his actions simply gave VE the excuse to do what they already wanted to do. If they actually wanted to sort things out without a conflict Im sure Impero and NpO could have worked something out. If anything Dajobo has the bad luck of being the excuse for VE attacking NpO, if it wasnt Dajobo 'being naive' then something would have happened a few weeks from now and we would find ourselves in a similar situation. [/quote] Under that logic, every single war on Planet Bob is because the aggressor had an intent to go to war with the defender. No one has an action done to their alliance that causes them to go "WELP, I am now compelled to go to war with you. There is literally no other way to resolve this, and I am actually being forced by some strange power." You start a war because you want to. To imply otherwise is foolishness.

[quote name='Branimir' timestamp='1295659456' post='2590074'] Oh snap. RV just owned Impero and VE. .... This was a sick, sick burn,....oh man never go on the bad side of RV. There goes your "high ground" VE. Pretenses are lost, masks have fallen. [/quote] Sick burn implies RV insulted him really well. This might be a masterstroke, sure, but it's not a "sick burn" hth

Even [i]if[/i] Impero set up Polar, that doesn't change the fact that the conversations detailed in the initial DoW still happened. Dabjobo was rather naive and, frankly, a little stupid (Sorry bud, but it's true) and he was the second in command of Polar while making those grievous errors. Just because he may have been set up doesn't mean that he still took the actions he took when confronted with the situation. And, IIRC, it was those actions taken that motivated VE to war.

[quote name='Delta1212' timestamp='1295586367' post='2588175'] I wonder what color we'll be. [/quote] [img]http://www.ladyofthecake.com/mel/space/images/plaid2.jpg[/img] Plaid, obviously. Also, RIA simultaneously can't win and can't lose. Amazing.

This entire mini-cycle had made me chuckle throughout. Especially rsox's various rages.
